Co-development of Low-speed Electric Community Buses for Local Area RevitalizationAbstract This paper describes the development of low-speed electric community buses (LSECBs) designed by the author's group and their spread situation in Japan. LSECBs are electric vehicles that can travel on public roads at speeds of less than 5.56 m/s (20&l [...] 26 245 |
Green Energy Sources Reduce Carbon Footprint of Oil & Gas Industry Processes: A ReviewAbstract In recent years, the oil and gas sector has been moving towards green production methods to achieve net-zero emission goals. Governments and corporations have started large-scale initiatives to deploy advanced technologies to reduce carbon footprints and prevent global warming. Herein, we have explo [...] 45 349 |
Significance of Insulation and Heat Pumps in Decarbonising the UKby
Andrew Williams
and
Murray Thomson
Abstract This paper examines the economic case for the UK to proceed urgently with the installation of thermal insulation and heat pumps in most UK buildings, in the context of the legal requirement to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. A recent study by the same authors assumed that such [...] 82 639 |

Abstract In this study, the oxidative stability of the cottonseed oil biodiesel (CB) and soybean oil biodiesel (SB) was investigated by two methodologies, Rancimat and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), using samples fresh and aged (mid-term storage condition (100 days)). The biodiesel samples were syn [...] 109 712 |
Net Zero UK – Generation and Energy Storage Requirements for the UK to Become Carbon Neutralby
Andrew Williams
and
Murray Thomson
Abstract This paper sets out a quantified scenario for the UK to reach net zero carbon emissions. Wind and solar are the main energy sources and their intermittency is accommodated through hydrogen electrolysis, biogas from anaerobic digesters, and their combination into biomethane. Hydrogen and [...] 117 1056 |

Abstract Ozone was reacted with the aromatic membrane polyetheretherketone (PEEK) to form oxidized functional groups on the surface to enhance the attraction and transport of protons in fuel cells. Ozonation of unsaturated C-C sp2 bonds in PEEK formed a primary ozonide which dissociate [...] 101 807 |
